A very controversial ascent. The expedition employed a gas powered compressor (thus the name) to facilitate drilling many, many bolts on the route. They then stopped short of the summit, leaving the compressor lashed to the side of the mountain, with Maestri claiming that the ice mushroom wasn't part of the mountain.
